1st Grade Spanish Dipthongs Lesson

Part 1: 

The diptongos (in Spanish, two vowel that do not separate in a syllable- /cie//lo/ =cielo) lesson has great starting points and had a progression of activities for students to get exposure. The lesson is aligned with the standard which is to write words with diphthongs. This lesson would be an introductory lesson. The lesson is rigorous and the assessment does not align because it's having to identify the dipthong within a spoken word. Improvements would be to incorporate technology such as Seesaw for the activities to be more interactive versus a worksheet. Provide them a format different where they would type their answer in an online document which would support working with digital writing tools. The tool is useful for the creation of a lesson plan but I do believe teacher use of judgement can refine the lesson plan to be more rigorous. The lesson plan has all the components that are required. 

Part 2: 

The AI powered tool I used from the Magic School page is the Song creator. This tool creates a song based on the topic you decide and can add music. I think it would be useful. The only modification I would make would be changing the language which I would be ideal if they had that feature already. Songs are always great resources to use in school followed by Total physical response (TPR) helps the information stick by incorporating different learning modalities. 

Part 3: 

When I hear AI, I am very hesitant because negative speculations or comments have been made about the future of it. However, Magic School has great features that could and would facilitate the creation of lessons, activities, and other helpful resources that could be used in the classroom. I can see magic school being used in the classroom but again with teaching input and judgment on the best way to effectively use and implement it.

Biography: Hello, My name is Lorena Rubio and married with a beautiful 9 month old baby girl! I am a certified bilingual educator with EC-6 and in my fifth year of teaching. This is my second year in 1st grade as a Dual Language Teacher in Texas but previously taught Bilingual Kindergarten and Pre-kindergarten. My favorite grade level is first grade! When I first started the Dual language program at my current district, I was intimidated by the fact of teaching Spanish learners versus only teaching Spanish speakers as a bilingual teacher at my previous district. The Dual language program used at my campus is the 2-way, meaning the group of students composed of Spanish speakers and Spanish learners. I am blessed to give back to the bilingual program that helped me achieve to become a bilingual teacher. I am a product of the same district I am currently teaching! Although I am only in my fifth year of teaching, I would like to support teachers digitally and provide them with abundant res...

Part 1: My name is Lorena Rubio. I am in my 5th year teaching and currently teaching 1st grade Dual Language. I enjoy teaching but have found an interest in technology! I would love to work with more of the aspect of technology within the education field. Super excited to start! Part 2: In my district, the rubric used is the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). https://teachfortexas.org/ This evaluative rubric is used yearly, uses a scale to rate from improvement needed to distinguish and provides descriptions that are specific under each category for the specific rating. The administrators use these rubrics to evaluate teachers in different settings or data such as observations, walkthroughs, artifacts, student growth and analyzing student data.  When comparing the ISTE technology use expectations and the T-TESS, two areas that illustrated good alignment are 1.A Empowered learner (ISTE) with 1.4 Activities (T-TESS) and 3.C Knowledge Constructor (ISTE) with 1.1 St...

Part 1:  Authentic Intellectual Work/Authentic Instruction & Assessment.   What is the nature of Authentic Intellectual Work?  How does it differ from traditional approaches to instruction and assessment?  The nature of Authentic Intellectual Work goes beyond the traditional approach in instruction and assessment. Authentic Intellectual work are skills that are in depth and transfer to adult life to make decisions and build great communication.  Discuss the components of Authentic Intellectual Work and provide deep consideration of at least one component by including a discussion of empirical (research-based) evidence. The components of Authentic Intellectual Work are construction of knowledge, discipline inquiry, and value beyond school (Newman, King, & Carmichael 2007). The components go more in depth of what is included. For the construction of knowledge, to be able to solve new problems organization, interpreting, evaluating or synthesizing prio...
